Dearica Hamby Sues Aces, Alleges Discrimination

Dearica Hamby has filed a lawsuit against the Las Vegas Aces and the WNBA, alleging discrimination and retaliation after revealing her pregnancy in 2022. Hamby claims she suffered mistreatment, including being stripped of financial incentives and traded to the Los Angeles Sparks due to her pregnancy. Aces coach Becky Hammon strongly denies these allegations, stating she provided 'over-the-top care' and highlighting her clean HR record over 25 years in professional basketball. Despite Hammon's insistence that no bullying occurred and that trade discussions only began when Atlanta called, Hamby maintains her lawsuit, seeking damages for emotional harm. During their recent game, Hamby was booed by Aces fans, while Hammon reiterated her innocence and compliance with workplace policies.
